How to Install Gotify on FreeBSD Latest

Gotify is a self-hosted server for sending and receiving push notifications. In this tutorial, we'll cover how to install Gotify on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure your system meets these requirements:

• A FreeBSD Latest installation with sudo access
• Docker installed and running

Step 1: Install Gotify

There are a few different ways to install Gotify on FreeBSD, but in this tutorial, we'll be installing it using Docker.

1. Start by creating a new directory for Gotify:

$ sudo mkdir /opt/gotify

2. Change the ownership of the new directory to your user:

$ sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` /opt/gotify

3. Download the latest Docker image for Gotify:

$ sudo docker pull gotify/server

4. Start the Gotify container:

$ sudo docker run -d --name=gotify -p 80:80 -v /opt/gotify/data:/app/data gotify/server

This command will start the Gotify container in detached mode, name it "gotify," map port 80 from the container to the host machine, and store the data in the /opt/gotify/data directory.

Step 2: Configure Gotify

By default, Gotify uses an insecure password for the admin user, so we'll need to change that before we can start using it.

1. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost/install (replace "localhost" with the IP address or hostname of your server if you're accessing it remotely).

2. Enter a secure password for the admin user.

3. Click "Install Gotify."

4. You can now access the Gotify dashboard at http://localhost.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully installed and configured Gotify on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use it to send and receive push notifications from your own server.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
